We tried to design beautifully practical areas that incorporated modern usage with historical farmhouse themes. The mudroom/laundry area has a washer dryer, an on demand gas hot water heater and is a great place for skis and parkas. This leads into a fully equipped kitchen with a farmer's sink, antique replica faucets, new appliances including a dishwasher, all utensils, dishes, pots and pans, and basic cooking staples is a space where any meal can be made with ease.

Not only do we do Air B&B's 5 step enhanced cleaning but we also have a high end virus filter on our hot air furnace. When we put together this house we tried to reduce toxic products and to be environmentally conscious. We used green guard certified products where ever possible. It is amazing how much plastic is used in the world and this house has been an experiment in how we could reduce our consumption of it, from trading lamented countertops for wood and quartz, to using natural fibers in our linens, curtains, and area rugs, to reducing the use of plastic products in our kitchen and baths. We have not always succeeded. Sometimes it seemed more practical to have a plastic lined trash cans so we could just rinse them out and avoid the use of throw away plastic bags and a plastic pump bottle in the shower so no one got hurt. However, we have significantly reduced our use by using Gove cleaning products, Apple Valley shampoo bars, bamboo toothbrushes and no plastic bags in our trash. I hope you enjoy our experiment and as you use our things think about your counterpart back home and what its made of.
